Cartrix Alfa Romeo Chrome Wheels: the finish that completes your model
When it comes to taking a slot car to the highest level of detail, the wheels are one of those elements that often go unnoticed… until they are changed. The Cartrix Alfa Romeo Chrome wheels (ref. CX1433C) are specifically designed for the Alfa Romeo models of the brand, offering that chrome finish that faithfully reproduces the appearance of the original wheels.
Features and compatibilities
- High fidelity chrome finish, designed to replicate the visual appearance of the original Alfa Romeo wheels.
- Axle diameter: 2.40 mm. Ensure that your setup corresponds to this measurement before installation.
- Compatibility with Cartrix tyres from references 1120 to 1126. If you already have these tyres or are going to acquire them, these wheels are their natural pair.
Installation and preparation
The installation of these wheels follows the usual process for Cartrix spare parts: the fit to the 2.40 mm axle ensures a correct attachment without unnecessary play. We recommend checking the concentricity of the wheel once mounted and verifying that the tyre is well seated, especially if it will be run on a track. A light touch-up with fine sandpaper can help equalise the tyre profile after mounting.
Ideal for…
These wheels are intended for enthusiasts and builders who want to maintain the visual coherence of their Cartrix Alfa Romeo models, whether for club competition or display. The chrome finish adds a touch of authenticity that is particularly noticeable at scale, where the reflections of the metal are part of the car's visual identity.
Considerations
Always confirm the diameter of your axle (2.40 mm) before placing your order. Also, keep in mind that these wheels are optimised for use with Cartrix tyres from the indicated references (1120–1126); using them with other tyres may require additional adjustments to the profile or fit.
